Mr.. Browns hat left his head he arose from

reeling down the aisle. He recovered him.

Mr.. Asberry very much, and he informed
Mr.. Brown that he would hear from him
later. Mr.. Brown announced his willing

one of the most trustworthy and talented
young lawyers of Minneapolis, Mimi, was
born in Bergen. Norway, Jan. "a, 1857.
He is truly self-made man. His parents
being financially unable to either educate or
support him, compelled the judge at an
early age to care for himself. At the age
of 10 years he had already demonstrated
his love for an education. which he after
ward, by his persevering work as student.
acquired. When 16 years old his desire for
an education, and the realization of the
impossibility of obtaining it in Norway, led
him to emigrate to America. He first set
tied in Mortified, MINI. There he
remained for a few years. and COM
pleted the various branches taught in
the Mortified high school. In the fall of
1879 he entered the state normal school at
Winona, where he completed his school
course. He read law with Gov. w. H.
Yale at Winona, Mimi, and after two years
of hard study was admitted to practice in
the state and federal courts of Minnesota.
He is thoroughly familiar with the funda-
mental principles of American jurispru-
dence. and keen understanding Of how to
apply the law to his case enables him to
argue his cause with marked success before
both court and jury. His Abilities to-
gether with his strict business integrity and
never failing character place him to-day as
one of the most promising young attorneys
of Minneapolis. At present he is assistant
